Orangutans along with chimpanzees, bonobos and gorillas are our closest relatives in the great apes, or homonids family. Great apes are mostly vegetarian and love to eat fruit, leaves, roots and also nuts and grass seeds. They are known to use various tools, and except for gorillas, are agile climbers of trees.
FOUR PAWS is rehabilitating 13 orphaned orangutans in Borneo at the ORANGUTAN FOREST SCHOOL. With our pioneering school, we hope to someday release them back to the wild in a protected forest.
